Dominic Parczuk will be around the Cathedral over the next year, using the building and the people as inspiration for a year of art.

‘I grew up in Lincoln and have painted since the age of five. Alongside my art I also play violin and have done for over 20 yrs. I lecture part time at Lincoln university in illustration and teach the violin privately. My foundation art studies began here in Lincoln leading to further studies at London’s Central Saint Martins College of art and design. Having worked as a designer and illustrator for many years in London I eventually made the move back to Lincoln to pursue a full time career as a painter. Drawn back to Lincoln for the calmer pace of life and rural surroundings.

‘My work is loose, not over thought and often spontaneous and of the moment, impressionistic in style. I’m inspired by how light creates atmosphere and enjoy sketching people in a simplistic sketchy manner.’
